| Summary |
"Reflecting on almost three decades of postsocialist transformations, the 2nd edition of Globalization on the Margins explores continuities and changes in Central Asian education development since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, with a particular focus on the developments that took place since the production of the 1st edition in 2011. Rather than viewing these transformations in isolation, the authors place their analyses within the global context by reflecting on the interaction between Soviet legacies and global education reform pressures in the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Notwithstanding the variety of theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and conceptual lenses, the essays have one thing in common. Both individually and collectively, they reveal the complexity and uncertainty of the postsocialist education transformations. Instead of portraying the transition process as the influx of Western ideas into the region, Globalization on the Margins provides new lenses to critically example education as a contested field of diverse perspectives, competing forces, and multidirectional flow of ideas, concepts, and reforms in Central Asia"-- Provided by publisher. |
